How HHS Extended the Health Coverage Deadline

So how exactly did the Obama administration go about extending by six weeks the deadline for people to get health coverage or pay a penalty?

The administration said last Wednesday that people would not face a fine as long as they signed up for insurance by March 31, 2014, the last day of the official open-enrollment period, as a growing number of Democrats started to voice concern that millions of Americans still couldn’t use the HealthCare.gov website that was intended to be their main way of getting health plans.
